Created attachment 93165 [details, diff] Patch to elfutils-0.122.ebuild This patch made things work for me. sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/gettext: 0.15 Would be interesting to know why this elfutils-0.120-mkinstalldirs.patch was added in the first place. I can see no reason for this, no reference to any bug out there, and no further information in the preamble of the patch.
run `emerge elfutils >& log` and post the log as an attachment
Created attachment 93183 [details] elfutils emerge logfile
Created attachment 93184 [details] emerge log with AT_M4DIR and mkinstalldirs.patch (In reply to comment #3) > run `emerge elfutils >& log` and post the log as an attachment This is my ebuild log from the run when I had AT_M4DIR already set, but with the elfutils-0.120-mkinstalldirs.patch still applied. I guess it's obvious why not applying the patch solved the issue for me.
Created attachment 93185 [details] emerge log using patch from comment 2 And this is what it looked like when I used an ebuild modified as described in comment 2. Due to -j2, diffing the logs is no fun. But the result seems the right thing. What is wrong with my approach, that it has been marked obsolete? Should gettext po files for nls be installed as well? I also wonder, if you don't use my patch, where does the definition of AM_PO_SUBDIRS come from? That is the line mentioned in configure.ac that in the long run causes the substitution of MKINSTALLDIRS, at least in the version from m4/gettext.m4. But I guess without my modification, /usr/share/aclocal/po.m4 is used instead. This seems to be rigged for using AM_PROG_MKDIR_P instead. That might use ac_aux_dir which could lead to the behaviour from comment 5, but on modern systems, it would simply use mkdir -p. The elfutils makefiles could be patched to use this.

Reopen.
(In reply to comment #7) > *** Bug 142409 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** > Sorry, but I didn't find the bug when I searched for elfutils on bugs.gentoo.org
fixed in cvs
not sure we have the correct fix yet
Comment on attachment 93165 [details, diff] Patch to elfutils-0.122.ebuild going through the m4 files and such, this patch is the correct fix see Bug 142852 for details of why
applied to cvs, cheers
